The Social Security Administration's main campus is seen in Woodlawn, Md., Friday, Jan. 11, 2013. The federal agency issued an official reprimand to an employee after months of flatulence problems, but the agency says it has since retracted the rebuke. A four-page reprimand letter dated Dec. 10 charges the employee with "conduct unbecoming a federal employee" and "creating a hostile work environment" because of the repeated gas passing.
